This is a simple, yet powerful dish. Strawberries contain anthocyanins, which stimulate the burning of stored fat and also aid in short term memory. They have a ton of fiber, which will keep you feeling full, as well as anti-oxidants, which will keep you feeling (and looking!) young. The ricotta we pair with them is packed with calcium and Omega-3 fatty acids which aid hugely in heart health. Ricotta is also a great source of Phosphorus and Selenium, two hard-to-find minerals for the body. Additionally, honey is a magical food that happens to be both antifungal and antibacterial. It can also be used to aid with sleep as well as to boost memory and increase energy naturally. With these beautiful ingredients, this dessert is one you can indulge in daily!

Notes

Roasting is a wonderful technique for any fruit: it brings out the natural sweetness as the sugars caramelize. You can experiment with apricots, plums, apples & peaches.
